dr73,
Where to start..?
... great job putting together this collection of fine navy dirks, better than many museums.
Good photos of your latest addition, too, a textbook example. So nice to see the ivory in this prime, toned and well cared-for condition. A good ivory grip lends so much to the visual impact of these elegant imperial weapons, a great contrast next to the dark-blue and gold-tressed naval dress uniform. Finished off with an ornamental, hand-forged steel blade, it's easy to see why you gents collect navy patterns, they're simply classic.
Much continued good luck!
Bill
